Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Furusato Seaside Park is located on Okinawa's western coast facing the East China Sea. The satellite imagery reveals a shallow coastal zone with mixed sand and reef bottom, transitioning to deeper offshore waters. The visible sediment plumes and color gradients indicate significant current activity and dynamic seafloor conditions typical of subtropical Japanese coastlines. Average wind of 13 knots with 53.4% reliability suggests inconsistent conditions, making this a fair-weather spot. Waves average 1.59m, suitable for progression rather than advanced maneuvers. Water temperatures around 24.9°C require minimal thermal protection. This spot best suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters during consistent northerly wind days when side-shore conditions align. The relatively protected nature of the bay and moderate wave height make it approachable for learning, though variable winds demand flexibility in session planning. Local knowledge of tidal influences and current patterns is advisable for safe practice.
